Heating Up with Arcade Fire

I recently went to see Arcade Fire play in Charlottesville at the downtown Pavillion. Besides being about 100 degrees outside (no joke!), it had to be one of the best live shows I've seen in a while. They played all of my favorite songs, ending with an encore of "Wake Up" and "Sprawl II." I tried to find a quality YouTube video from the show, but decided to post a similar video from last year's show at Madison Square Garden (the cinematography is much better!). I loved that they ended the concert with this song... and when Regine Chassagne sang "Can someone please cut the lights?" they did just that.
